Short Let Management, Done Properly.

At b.living, we don’t just get guests in and out of your property. We take care of everything — from beautifully presenting your home, to managing guests, to keeping your property in top shape long-term. We’re local. We’re hands-on. And we only work with properties we’d be proud to stay in ourselves.

 
 

Design-Led

We don’t do cookie-cutter staging. Every property is styled with thoughtful detail, shaping who books it, how they treat it, and the value it holds over time.

 
 
 

Utilities Management

Utility bills may seem small, but when mismanaged they create stress and hidden costs.
At B.Living, we handle them so everything runs smoothly and you enjoy the returns without the noise.

 
 
 

Full service cleaning

Our in-house team handles every turnover with care and consistency — fresh linens, spotless surfaces, and the standards that keep five-star reviews coming.

 
 
 

Local expertise & Support

With our Oxford base and UK-wide network, your property is managed by people who know the area and care for it properly, so you never feel distant from your investment.
